How about complaining to the dog warden instead.
I really cant see the council bothering to take someone to court over erecting a fence - its not a crime, why would they waste money on it? Who is going to tell them the fence even exists? If the dont bother controlling the nuisance dogs in the estate its unlikely theyre going to bother checking up on fences.
don't think they work not al the time anyway. thanksMight be cheaper and easier all round to install a sonic deterrent like one of these:

A neighbour across the road from me has one and it seems to be having the desired effect.
What about planting a hedge? Does a rule against fencing automatically apply to low hedgerows?
I know from experience that the dog warden is likely to do very little.
If the OPs friend has already complained to the council about the dogs then chances are the dog warden already knows about the problem.
Last time I had occasion to call the dog warden he told me that he is not a dog catcher, he will come and take a stray that I have already captured but will not go around catching dogs himself. Plus if you do catch a dog that is fouling your garden and hand it over to the dog warden, the dog will go to the pound, and the irresponsible owners will have a chance to collect it and allow it to run loose again.

are you allowed to capture and hold a dog till the warden comes? What if the owner demands him would you be dog napping. They can gp to the pound and collect but if dog has fouled can they be prosecuted and can they be prosecuted for allowing the dog free in first placeLast time I had occasion to call the dog warden he told me that he is not a dog catcher, he will come and take a stray that I have already captured but will not go around catching dogs himself.
